Default Re: swimming pools

We had a salt water pool when we lived in Orlando in the early 80's. At the time this technology was staring to be noticed as an alternative to all that chlorine. Did not have a heater, so we only used the pool for about 6 months out of the year. With a house full of kids and their friends it was wonderful addition to our home. Comparing it what we see in many Villages screen enclosures it was a very large pool. 8 ft depth enabled us to have a diving board and a slide. Many of the pools I see now are quite a bit smaller and cost a great deal more. We also learned that a pool did not help when it came time to sell the house. Many prospective buyers just dont't want the bother

Personally, I am done being the pool maintenance guy. I would much rather use the community pools and have the opportunity to socialize with neigbors. When Grandkids visit they enjoy the family pools here in TV.
